Actor Jung Tae-woo revealed that he earned an income equivalent to the rent for a small apartment from a single work during his childhood.

On the 26th, in the TV Chosun program 'Sikgaek Heo Young-man's Baekban-gihaeng' (hereinafter 'Baekban-gihaeng'), Jung Tae-woo appeared as a guest and visited the Yeongdeok dining table with Heo Young-man.

Jung Tae-woo played the role of a king in numerous past dramas, earning him the titles 'original king's son' and 'original Danjong' on this day.

On this day, Jung Tae-woo said, "When I was young, it was very difficult to get imported American baby food, but it was extremely delicious."

When Heo Young-man remarked, "You must have earned that much income since appearing on the broadcast," Jung Tae-woo revealed, "I filmed the movie 'Ttol-ttol-i So-gang-si' in Taiwan in 1988. I received 3 million won for that film."

'Ttol-ttol-i So-gang-si' was a Korean-Hong Kong co-produced ghost movie where a young ghost and a human boy become friends and defeat an adult villain. At the time, Jung Tae-woo was 6 years old, and 3 million won was roughly equivalent to the rent for a small apartment.

Jung Tae-woo appeared frequently in historical dramas such as 'Dragon's Eyes', 'Taejo Wang Geon', 'Yeoincheonha', 'Taejo Yi Bang-won', 'Gwanggaeto the Great', and 'Taejo Yi Bang-won'.

When Heo Young-man asked, "Why did you appear in so many historical dramas?" Jung Tae-woo laughed and said, "In the past, dramas were not that diverse. I have been acting for 39 years, and when I was young, I looked cute and adorable. Whenever I went to an audition, everyone would make faces as if they had eaten poop. They would say, 'This kid can do it.' They said I did well with my bright eyes when I was young."
